We are proud to collaborate with our partners around the world to bring this vision to life, and it is especially impressive to see what is being done together with our partners in <span class=\"xn-location\">North America<\/span>.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Volvo Trucks is successfully facilitating the introduction of the Class 8 VNR Electric model to the North American market in part through strategic partnerships and participation in innovative demonstration projects. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By collaborating with 14 other organizations in the Volvo LIGHTS project in <span class=\"xn-location\">Southern California<\/span>, we gained crucial experience as we worked together to demonstrate the real-world viability of the VNR Electric truck and its supporting ecosystem,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Peter Voorhoeve<\/span>. &#8220;We fully understand the steps needed to successfully deploy and operate electric trucks and can confidently offer the Volvo VNR Electric to our customers across <span class=\"xn-location\">North America<\/span>.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>With a goal to transform goods movement, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3002076-1&amp;h=762768944&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lightsproject.com%2F&amp;a=Volvo+LIGHTS+project\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Volvo LIGHTS project<\/a>\u00a0united public and private stakeholders to design an end-to-end support system for the wide-scale electrification of commercial trucking.
